ABSTRACT

Linear constraint satisfaction optimization problem is a kind of combinatorial optimization problem involving linearly expressed objective function and complex constraints. Integer programming is known as a very effective technique for such problem but require very much time and memory until finding a suboptimal solution. In this paper, we propose a method to improve the search performance by integrating local search and integer programming. Basically, simple hill-climbing search, which is the simplest form of local search, is used to solve the given problem and integer programming is applied to generate a neighbor solution. In addition, constraint programming is used to generate an initial solution. Through the experimental results using N-Queens maximization problems, we confirmed that the proposed method can produce far better solutions than any other search methods.
